Arts and Culture:

If all that is too depressing, there’s always the arts, in good times and bad:

Kids at the Amon Carter Museum’s summer program recently created an art project of found objects that’s on display, and the museum has two more summer storytimes to go …  Dallas photoworks has been looking at Carnivals, as have I … Eva-Marie has a quick post on FWISD alumni who participated, actually or dramatically, in the U.S. Space program ….the Log Cabin Village Blog is showing images of their new firepit which will allow them to do live demos of frontier cooking techniques ….and Fortworthology gives us a nice selection of Fort Worth glamour real estate shots (if there is such a thing) from Flickr.

Restaurants and Food:

If culture isn’t enough to stir up your desire to live, there’s always the food section:

AT FOOD AND FORT WORTH Francis recommends Papasitos for the best fajitas, and he also is taking a survey of Fort Worth’s best beer.

And that’s all for this week. I’ve got to get ready to go to that free swim deal in Keller.
